MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / May 2008out line fonts (and text) isn't there a way to outline fonts?
Isn't there a way to put a another color outline around fonts? I've made the fonts red and I'd like to have a thin line of black around them.... using publisher 2003 WordArt. Or a draw program.

Serif also has a free draw program. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/DrawPlus/default.asp You can change the WordArt using any font. If you give the outline a small weight you can get close to the look of regular text.

The first style will allow you to do what you want.

Workaround: Create your text box with red text. Then create an exact copy of the text box (Ctrl+Drag or Copy+Paste) in exactly the same position (use Snap To Objects). Set the font colour to black, and adjust it to directly above the first box in the z-order (i.e. use Send to Back, and then Bring Forward until the red text turns black, but no further). Then select all of the black text, go to Format > Font, check Outline, hit OK. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org
